Safe Pouch Basics
Sugar glider pouches should be checked often for loose threads, holes, worn seams, exposed stitching, and fabric damage. Any loose thread can become a serious hazard if it wraps around toes, nails, limbs, or tails.
Sleeping pouches and cage pouches should be made from safe materials and should be replaced when they become worn. Pouches should hang securely in the cage and should not create gaps where a glider could become trapped.
Bonding pouches should also be checked for safety, especially around zippers, mesh, seams, straps, and any areas where nails could catch.
